/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p>Approaches to conversation in language
teaching are currently in a state of change, as is natural when any
discipline is undergoing so much theoretical and procedural revision.
One change may have taken place in recent conceptual frameworks within
the field, which now view conversation as a much more complex
phenomenon than was previously thought. The evolution of conversation
in language teaching has gone from the communicative approach, whose
main aim is to make learners engage in oral interaction fluently and
creatively through the so-called communicative activities, to a more
input-based approach which bears upon other academic domains such as
conversation analysis, speech act theory, politeness, discourse
analysis, context-theory, nonverbal communication, sociolinguistics,
psycholinguistics, the grammar of spoken language, pragmatic
phonology, psycholinguistics.<br /><br />This International Symposium,
organised by R&D project ADELEX (HUM2007-61766, Department of English,
University of Granada), seeks to address some major concerns in the
state of the art of the real nature of conversation in SLA/language
teaching as well as examine the tension between “expressing oneself
spontaneously” and “expressing oneself appropriately and
correctly.” The integration of related disciplines to enlighten the
complexity of oral interaction and its consequent classroom procedures
would seem to be one way of moving forward and solving this dilemma.
Moreover, a rigorous exploration of these related areas of study might
contribute to a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary statement
into the nature of conversational competence and, on the other hand,
it attempts to discuss current research into the issues and problems
that have arisen in learning and teaching conversation. <br /><br
/>For this international event, we have invited a team of scholars
with major achievements in high-level conversation studies and its
practical applications, who will offer an update and address present
trends and future issues.<br /><br />Academic Programme<br /><br
/>A) General plenary sessions tackling theoretical issues and
pedagogical approaches to conversation.<br />B) Parallel talks and
discussions focusing on relevant aspects of conversation for language
learning/SLA.<br />C) Show & Tell presentations looking into practical
applications and software demonstration. <br />D) Panel discussion
chaired by an eminent scholar with the contribution of guest
speakers.<br />E) Presentations of theoretical issues or research
studies by participants.<br /><br /><br />Confirmed Keynote
Speakers<br /><br />In the spirit of our research endeavour
(conversation and multimodality), we have invited guest speakers that
will give talks on different theoretical approaches to the study of
conversation and others who will specifically deal with applications
to language learning and teaching.<br /><br />Svenja Adolphs
